Discover a place that truly feels like home in the heart of Tarzana's beloved Melody Acres. Tucked behind private gates on a wide, flat 17,001 sq ft lot, this property offers something incredibly rare: two separate homes, endless flexibility, and the kind of space that makes life feel calmer, easier, and more connected. The main house is a warm, inviting ranch-style home that instantly puts you at ease. With around 1,966 sq ft, it features 3 comfortable bedrooms and 2.5 beautifully updated bathrooms. The remodeled kitchen is one of those spaces where people naturally gather--complete with stainless steel appliances, double ovens, a wine fridge, and plenty of room to cook together. The living and dining areas are filled with natural light from a full wall of windows that look out to the spacious backyard. Step outside and you'll find patios perfect for long summer evenings and mature fruit trees that make the entire space feel like your own private retreat. The second home--a stunning two-story ADU--feels like a hidden sanctuary. With about 1,000 sq ft, it has its own entrance, its own yard, and its own sense of peace. Soaring ceilings, a cozy fireplace, hardwood floors, and French doors opening to a large wood deck create a true indoor-outdoor vibe. It offers 2 bedrooms and 2 updated bathrooms, plus a remodeled kitchen and laundry area. The upstairs bedroom, with its walk-in closet and added privacy, feels like a quiet getaway at the end of the day. What makes this property special is how versatile it is. The ADU is perfect for extended family, adult children, guests, or meaningful rental income. Investors will appreciate the space and potential to explore future development. And anyone looking for a sense of breathing room will love the grassy play areas, mature trees, and the option to relax or entertain in complete privacy. All of this is just a short walk from local restaurants, shops, and places people love spending time. You're also close to the Westfield Topanga Mall & The Village, schools, parks, and major freeways--everything you need, without giving up the peace and charm that makes Melody Acres so special. Homes like this don't come around often. It's more than a property--it's an opportunity to create the lifestyle you've been hoping for.
